Healthy Homemade Peanut Butter Fudge Recipe

I decided to make this healthy homemade peanut butter fudge recipe because I have about 8 jars of peanut butter in my pantry. Why? Because I am the type of person who stocks up on healthy food when I find a good deal. I found a buy one get one free sale recently on natural peanut butter and I could probably make a years worth of PB&J sandwiches with it and never run out.

This week, I have been scrolling through Pinterest looking at nut butter recipes for inspiration. I found a paleo fudge recipe online that looked easy enough and decided to swap out the almond butter for the peanut butter I need to use up.

Sweeteners for Healthy Peanut Butter Fudge

You know what else I have a ton of? Real maple syrup. I went up to visit my family in Vermont this summer and brought back 3 gallons of the stuff. No, I am not exaggerating. I have huge jugs of maple syrup sitting on the floor of my pantry. We are enjoying a lot of homemade waffles and pancakes!

The homemade peanut butter fudge recipe I made uses maple syrup as the sweetener but I bet it would work just as well with honey if you prefer to try that.

I was a little worried about the coconut oil in this fudge recipe because it has a very ‘coconutty’ flavor. And yes, the final product really does taste slightly like coconut. However, I am actually pleasantly surprised at how well the flavor of coconut compliments the peanut butter. I never would have thought that these two flavors would mix well in a homemade fudge but I am thrilled I gave it a try.

This easy homemade fudge recipe took me only 5 minutes to make. Seriously! Melt ingredients on the stove. Stir with a whisk. Pour into muffin tins lined with muffin cups. I made mini sized homemade fudge bites as well as regular muffin cup sized ones as well.
